Redux Fundamentals, Part 8: Modern Redux with Redux Toolkit

  • Redux Toolkit (RTK) is the standard way to write Redux logic
    • RTK includes APIs that simplify most Redux code
    • RTK wraps around the Redux core, and includes other useful packages
  • configureStore sets up a Redux store with good defaults
    • Automatically combines slice reducers to create the root reducer
    • Automatically sets up the Redux DevTools Extension and debugging middleware
  • createSlice simplifies writing Redux actions and reducers
    • Automatically generates action creators based on slice/reducer names
    • Reducers can “mutate” state inside createSlice using Immer
  • createAsyncThunk generates thunks for async calls
    • Automatically generates a thunk + pending/fulfilled/rejected action creators
    • Dispatching the thunk runs your payload creator and dispatches the actions
    • Thunk actions can be handled in createSlice.extraReducers
  • createEntityAdapter provides reducers + selectors for normalized state
    • Includes reducer functions for common tasks like adding/updating/removing items
    • Generates memoized selectors for selectAll and selectById
